Description
Laboratory cell culture workflows that require an aminoglycoside antibiotic depend on clearly defined product identity, potency, and storage conditions. KB0286 Kanamycin Sulfate is a High Purity, white to off-white powder intended for use as an antibiotic in laboratory cell culture research.
This product is a mixture of kanamycin sulfate components A, B, and C. It has a dried-substance potency specification of ≥760 U/mg, with Kanamycin B controlled to ≤2%. Kanamycin sulfate acts by binding to the 70S subunit of the bacterial ribosome.
Store at 4°C in a tightly closed container and protect from moisture. This product is for laboratory research use only and is not intended for human or animal drug use.
